Maybe one of the worst problems lately is the radiator. Coming from an apartment that had almost no heat during the winter, at first I was pleased that my apartment hovers around 85 degrees most nights. It's getting a little old, truthfully, so I've started sleeping with the window wide open (welcome, homeless marauding rapists!) and sometimes getting up at 4am to wet a washcloth for my forehead like a swooning damsel.
The other issue with the radiator is the afrobeats it pumps out at regular intervals throughout the night for 10 minute stretches at a time.
Keep in mind that I took this video AFTER waking up, lying in bed cursing God, trying to fall back asleep, resigning myself to insomnia, getting up, finding my camera in the dark, figuring out how to "film" and then "filming." So yeah, 10 minutes is not an exaggeration.

OMG...you need white noise and ear plugs...STAT!!! Hope it gets better and you get used to the sounds of your new home! TCx
HAHAHAHAHAH ok not to laugh at your expense, but OH MY GOD you’re not kidding about the afrobeats!! Its like someone is playing a sick joke on you – can that be real? Or is there a homeless person living in your furnace? Like, a homeless Jamaican person.
xo, schmate
crazy beats for sure! if i was an artist still i would almost want to choreograph to it. our radiator just bangs for ten seconds and then stops; yours is way more interesting. can you shut the valve off?
Are you sure there isn't a drum circle outside your window? It sounds a lot like the squatter guy from The Visitor.
